    Surely these chips aren't based on the Dothan chips we saw last month? Clock speeds are too high, and hyper-threading? Did I misread something? These can't be mobile processors? lol

    Did anyone catch the below quote that was in the article?

    "The chips also offer low-thermal technology to prevent the notebook from burning a hole in users' laps."

    I thought that was a bit humorous.
